“This is a project that will be a model not just for this community, not just for this state, but as we were talking before in this country, for collaborative services that don’t just provide temporary relief, they provide the whole spectrum of services to insure we break the cycle of domestic violence,” declared Gov. Scott Walker during the groundbreaking ceremony.

“This is more than just a building, we are creating a new way of serving families and a new way to partner to help those who have been hurt by violence in our community,” Sojourner Family Peace Center Executive Director Carmen Pitre proclaimed.
